Much Interest Manifested in the In

CONSUL BmGHAy's GRIEVANCE.

it is probable that the next news from
Paso Del Norte, Mex, will be Of the live.
Hest kind imaginable. Judge Brigham,
the United States consul, is not the man,
they say st the State Department, to sub
nit to the insult put upon him By The
Mexican Judge Zu5ia, ct Paso Del
Norte. Judge Brigham is g native
OF Louislana, and is amply
able, his friends say, OF taking care of his
own and the honor OF the country he rep
reserts. He resigned p judgship in New
Orleans on account of i'll health.
It is confidently expected that
he will challenge the insult
ing Mexican and punish him unless an
ample apology is forthcoming immedi-
ately. The Safe Department will not
tske co2nIL3nCe OF the Cffsnse, as il is
regarded es Q personal matter
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Recently an
association Of wholesale grocers in
Pittsburg filed with the Interstate COM
merce commission 2 protest against any
change as asked BY New York shippers in
the present system OF freight classiH,s-
ton IS between carloads on the one h&nd
and smaller quantities on the other: Duc
sided that they deemed it unnecessary TO
enter lnS any argument on tAe
subject other than to say
that said classification is in
their opinion Just and fair 10 ell concern
ed. Judge Cooley, acknowledging the
receipt OF the letter, comments as follows
upon the inclination occasionally mari
tested by parties in interest to argue
their cases before the commission:
"AlloW me TO say that this course is
neither fair TO the Commission nor bust
ness-like. ANY such question as is pre-
sented by New York petitions, has
two sides. OlG side will be strongly
presented By the petitioners and
ell considerations advanced which Will
tell in their favor. You appear to assume
that TIE commission Will infalliDly dis
cover the considerations bearing on the
other side, and you refrain from giving
assistance. | beg TO remind you that il
you treated your law suits il the same
WY you would generally get beaten, even
when Justice vas on your side. A court
needs the act CT psrtiee, and it will get
buG imperfect views of 8 case without
it. You may think that railroads
will present al that can be said
but this IS very unsafe reliance They
may think il for their interest before the
cases are concluded to yield TO the petit
TONERS claims. TIE railroads make fire.
quent CHANGES in their CiassitiCGtiOns, ana
for aught we know they may be perfectly
willing to make the one now demanded.
The commission 10 DESTROYS to administer
the new law justly and according
to it's spirit, but in order to do
this it is necessary that it
have assistance from such persons that
are able to render il, and when citizens
deliberately withhold such assistance
they will be fairly estopped if they find
that decisions are made to their detri-
ment from making any compliant. 1t is
not in the nature Of things that the com
mission should not sometimes be misled
when only one side OF 8 controversy is
presented"
